If they can help all the hackers out there finish a round in less than 7 hours, even better!

If it rolls, eventually it will be raced.

I always thought golf would be a better game if the score was a combo of shots made and speed around the course. - e.g. a score of 90 strokes played in 1 hour would beat a score 75 played in four hours.

Everyone could wear bicycle helmets and hockey armor and play right through slower players. Yelling "FORE!" is for PUSSIES!!!

Hmmm. I'm thinking of a new product - the Golf Helmet!
Don't risk a concussion falling off your golf scooter! Wear the WD Golf Helmet!

Try walking?

Too inconvenient for fat people and doesn't carry enough beer / snacks ...

Didn't everyone make a big boohoo deal about that pro golf player who couldn't walk because of his back?

Next up: bumper cars in flag football.

Those lovely smooth rolling greens look excellent for power sliding the golfboard.

$20 per round and have one cup holder. A big tip to the cart girl should keep the cold beer close by.

One day, they should try to invent one with 4 wheels and a bench seat.

I've used the golf board. It's awesome. Way more fun than a normal golf cart. My friends and I walk 80% of the rounds we play. And we carry our own bags. Carts are annoying going after each other's shots all day. Walking is just as fast. But on an open course, I don't think you can play too much faster than you can with a board.

I wish I could walk the course at my country club. Walking is not allowed. The excuse...there's over 1,200' of elevation change and long distances from green to tee. Walking would slow play for the fat guys in carts. BS...A good player walking is faster then two hackers in a cart.

I called my club to see if they would allow the Golf Board. They said "Maybe", for a corking fee, but the damn@d things are $6500! Screw that. I can rent one at Maderas 350 times before I break even. Better yet, ride in the cart I pay for monthly already and drink 950 Fat Tire Pale Ales.
